Recommended Roof Rack For 2020 Honda CR-V To Carry Roof-Top Tent
Question:
Hello, I have a 2020 Honda CR-V EX with a bear naked roof. I would like to add a roof top tent, like an ikamper mini. What type of roof mounting system would I need to make this project happen.

Since your 2020 Honda CR-V has a naked roof, you will need to go with a roof rack that attaches to the door jams. I took a look at the Ikamper mini tent and it attaches to virtually any vehicle and only weighs 125lbs so it will work well for you. For a roof rack, I would look into the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero bars which feature a T-slot top channel in case you wish to install any channel-mounted accessories down the road.
The complete Rhino-Rack setup is as follows: Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA137B-2, Legs # RRRLKVA, and Fit Kit # DK284.
Integrated locks secure the roof rack to your roof, along with securing any track-mounted accessories. The weight capacity of this roof rack is 165lbs but make sure you never exceed the weight capacity of your CR-V's roof. My research tells me that your roof also has a 165lb weight capacity; you can check the owner's manual to verify. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out regarding this roof rack.
